MasterACE14 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Evening people, I have a login page on my website, and thats working fine, I have 3 input boxes, username, password and e-mail. And I have a check box called "Remember Me" which I want to create a cookie, so the next time a person comes to log into my website they don't have to type in their username, password and e-mail again. I have no idea how to do this, But I do know how to create cookies.

black.horizons Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 you need to set the cookie like you said you know how to. then what you want to be doing is testing on the login page whether that cookie has been set - so call to the cookie: $cookieusername = $_COOKIE['username']; $cookiepassword = $_COOKIE['password']; then pass these two (cookieusername and cookiepassword) into your login tester and if they work then the person is logged in. Not a highly secure way of doing business mind you...never store a password in a cookie, unless its a home project with nothing big in mind, and md5() your passwords anyway...at the least!
